Pacific Tsunami Museum is at 130 Kamehameha Ave. Educating visitors about the history, science and danger of tsunamis, the museum features exhibits, videos and photographs pertaining to tsunami activity in the Pacific Basin and around the world. Tsunami survivors share their personal stories, and visitors learn how to handle this type of catastrophe should one occur.

Of particular interest are the exhibits about the tsunamis that ravaged Hilo in 1946 and 1960.
